- Interventions
- Ankle-bracelet laser, which size 9.5x5.5x1.5 cm weight 250 gm consist of IMU sensor to detect accleration and gyroscope during walking. Once the foot contact the floor, the laser line will project in front of the opposite foot as visual cue to improve the leg into the swing phase.The laser is in class 1 range 650 +/-20 nanometer and the thickness of line is between 0.5-2.5 cm and lenght of the line can be adjusted from10-20 cm.The device also record the shank angular velocity while walking in SD card and can be use for calulating the percentage of freezing from the software program. ,The ankle bracelet same design as in the intervention is used but the laser line is projected to the rear of the foot.;Experimental Device,Sham Comparator Device;Ankle bracelet laser ,Ankle bracelet with no visual cue
